This is a super-high total because UNLV gave up 43 points in a stunning loss last week. However, that was to triple-option Howard, quarterbacked by Cam Newton's brother. Now they face an Idaho squad that likes to run the football. Idaho ran for 193 yards last week, led by RB Aaron Duckworth (142 yards) as Idaho opened the season with a 28-6 victory over Sacramento State. Idaho won the game but was just 2-of-11 on third down, while the defense was a force allowing just 1-of-15 third down conversions. UNLV heads out on the road for the first time, scoring 21, 7, 24 and 25 points in four of its five road contests last season. Last week UNLV was 4-of-11 on third down and turned it over three times on offense, so look for more defense than oddsmakers and the public expect. Play this one to finish UNDER the total.
